About the Recording

Capability Brown were a 6 piece British band that managed to release two albums with the second in review here. The lineup consisted of Tony Ferguson (guitar, bass), Dave Nevin (keyboards, guitar, bass), Kenny Rowe (bass, percussion), Grahame White (guitar, bass), Joe Williams (percussion) and Roger Willis (drums, keyboards). "Voice" was best known for it’s side 2 epic length track "Circumstances" which is worth the admission price alone. Capability Brown bounce between 70’s classic rock and progressive rock thoughout. Without a question side 2 and “Circumstances” is the centrepiece on this album blending Gentle Giant / The Association vocals with complex instrumentation with a wide range of moods (medieval atmospheres with recorder and harpsichord, heavy 70‘s allusions with aggressive guitar and wonderful symphonia with synths and even Mellotron). Ferguson and Nevin wrote the majority of the band’s material, the rest being covers (Rare Bird’s “Beautiful Scarlet” and “Redman,” Argent’s “Liar,” Affinity’s “I Am And So Are You” and Steely Dan’s “Midnight Cruiser”). Side 1 is less progressive but still very well done and I suspect will appeal to all lovers of 70’s progressive rock.
